One character The Amazing Spider-Man never got around to showing was fan-favorite J. Jonah Jameson, Peter's boss at the Daily Bugle. While it was rumored that Jim Carrey might play a new version of Jameson in the big screen reboot, there were also plenty of rumblings that J.K. Simmons may reprise the iconic role. Now, the actor has backed up these rumors, claiming he's heard about the possibility of a new project that could see him return.

In a recent interview with Howard Stern, the radio legend asked J.K. Simmons if he was every going to do another Spider-Man. His answer was not 'no'. In fact, the actor states:

"I just heard that we...that's a possibility."

Howard Stern follows this up by asking if he even wants to come back to once again play J. Jonah Jameson. The actor's response:

"Absolutely."

This is interesting, not just because he might return, but also because he seems to indicate that another Spider-Man movie is currently in the works. As everyone knows by now, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was put on ice because The Amazing Spider-Man 2 did not perform as expected at the box office, and it was not well-liked by fans or critics. Is Sony planning to announce The Amazing Spider-Man 3 soon? Possibly a reboot? Or is J.K. Simmons talking about The Sinister Six spinoff, which, as far as we know, is still set for November 2016? Either way you slice it, having J.K. Simmons back as J. Jonah Jameson should make a lot of people very happy.

While the Sony hack appears to be over for the time being, more information is still coming forward that was leaked from various emails and documents from deep within the studio. By this point, everyone knows that Marvel was working hard to make a deal with Sony to bring Spider-Man into Captain America: Civil War. That deal never happened, but more details on exactly what was to take place have emerged, and they shed some light on the proposed The Amazing Spider-Man reboot that would have seen Marvel and Sony working close together. It is believed that Sony is still ready to reboot the franchise without Andrew Garfield in the lead.

Some of this new information both confirms and contradicts what we've heard in the recent past. It is speculated by CBM that some of the past information was made up by foreign bloggers looking to cash in on the Sony hack by publishing erroneous information. That has not been confirmed.

These new details suggest that the The Amazing Spider-Man would, and maybe even still will, cary on the story set up in Captain America: Civil War, which finds Peter Parker revealing his true identity to the world. While it has been 98.9% confirmed that Captain America 3 is moving forward without the Spider-Man character, and will instead focus more on The Winter Soldier, it's possible that Sony will still follow this idea that Peter Parker's identity is known to the world at large, which calls in the attention of The King Pin and other iconic villains. It's an idea that may play out in The Sinister Six, and sheds some light on how Captain America: Civil War could have worked in setting up the spin-off, which is still happening.

If Spider-Man were to appear in Captain America: Civil War, Sony would have co-financed 25% of the movie. Marvel would have then co-financed 25% of The Amazing Spider-Man reboot, which is said to be coming to theaters in July 2017. The deal would have also allowed Sony to use two major Marvel characters in their reboot. This, in turn, would have insured Spider-Man's appearance in Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 in 2018. This would have been followed by a second standalone Spider-Man movie in 2019.

As previously reported, Sony wanted full approval on the Spider-man costume, script and casting, with the new actor said to be signing a three-movie deal. The deal would have made way for a collaboration between Marvel and Sony, with both studios having a say in how things played out. Kevin Feige is said to be the producer of the reboots, with Marvel having control of who replaces him if he leaves. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, the producers behind the current The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, would stay on as executive producers. And it must be pre-agreed between both studios that Drew Goddard write and direct the first solo movie. The Cabin in the Woods director is already confirmed to helm The Sinister Six for Sony, and served as a consulting producer on Marvel's Daredevil Netflix series.

The latest documents also gets more into the business side of the partnership. If Marvel misses any of its proposed release dates, Sony would be paid $100 million in damages. And the deal would be terminated. Sony is said to have only three years and nine months to start pre-production on their reboot, but Captain America: Civil War would have reset the clock on this period of time. Sony also asked that they have access to Disney in terms of accessible for Spider-Man's solo movies in regards to Disney owned TV channels, radio networks, theme parks, and more. The Marvel and Sony deal was to be announced during a big press event that was set to happen at a mutually agreed upon date and time.

These details come from internally within the studio, and are said to be a plan that was put together following discussions between Marvel and Sony. This was not the official proposal. While we've heard that talks broke down between Sony and Marvel, nothing has been officially confirmed by either studio. It is believed that a deal between Marvel and Sony may still happen.

In this age of instant media and social networking, news travels fast. Chris Zylka recently revealed that he won a part in Marc Webb's Untitled Spider-Man Reboot via his personal Twitter account. Now, an inside source who contacted Comic Book Movie has revealed that Zylka, best known for his roles in the TV series 10 Things I Hate About You and the MTV horror franchise My Super Psycho Sweet 16, will be playing Eugene "Flash" Thompson.

Thompson is Peter Parker's high school nemesis, a football player who mercifully picks on "Puny Parker". Flash is also a great admirer of Spider-Man, and after serving time in the United States Army, Eugene and Peter actually become friends. Joe Manganiello played the character in Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-Man, where he was boyfriend to Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane. As many know, Manganiello is currently inline to play Clark Kent in Warner Bros. upcoming Superman reboot. It is not known how big a role Flash will have in the upcoming Untitled Spider-Man Reboot.

In further news, a new Sony Pictures audition tape has surfaced for "Untitled Teen Action/Adventure Film", which The Hollywood Reporter confirmed is the title Sony is currently using for its Untitled Spider-Man Reboot. The child actor in question is Stuart Allan, and once you get past his hilarious introduction, you will see him auditioning for the role of "Billy" in what is a scene between Dr. Curt Conners (aka The Lizard) and his son, which confirms that Rhys Ifans is indeed playing the villain The Lizard in this particular installment. Which we pretty much knew already.

You can watch Stuart Allan's audition below (or "I can tell you about it when I see you!"):

There'll be no iconic upside down make-out sessions in the pouring rain for Marc Webb's Untitled Spider-Man Reboot, it looks like. A ton of new pics from the Los Angeles based set of Spider-Man 2.0 have appeared on-line, and they offer both a first look at Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and show off one of the more intimate scenes from the upcoming Marvel Comics adventure, with Garfield and Emma Stone (as Gwen Stacy) sharing a quiet smooch on the bleachers of the high school football field. You can check out the images below:

UPDATE: 01/07/11 2:19 PM PST We have also discovered video from this day of shooting which shows the NYPD helicopter in action as it lands at Taft High School. The video is available below.

More Untitled Spider-Man Reboot (aka Spider-Man 2.0) set photos have arrived today. These aren't as exciting as the last batch, but we do get to see Peter Parker's high school and Emma Stone walking her dog to set. Marc Webb is shooting these scenes at Taft High School in Woodland Hills, California, just outside of Los Angeles. Which is certainly an odd choice, as anyone who has been there knows that it feels and looks undeniably Southern Californian. Hopefully they'll be CGIing the palm trees out of the background, as Peter Parker has always been a New York citizen. Or is his relocation to the outskirts of L.A. all part of the reboot process? Take a look at the images below:

The Untitled Spider-Man Reboot was filming in downtown Los Angeles last night, and some new photos have surfaced from the set. Click on any of these shots below to access our gallery:

It isn't known if that is Andrew Garfield actually running through downtown L.A. or his stunt double. Some have speculated that the last photo could be from a fight between Spider-Man and Dr. Curt Connors a.k.a. The Lizard.

On top of the set photos we showed you earlier today, two new videos from the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot set have appeared online. Click on the video players below to watch the action from the Los Angeles set, which features a stunt man in full costume performing a front flip onto a moving truck:

Yesterday we reported on a pair of new videos taken from the downtown Los Angeles set of the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot. Today, another video offering a better glimpse of that stunt has arrived.

The latest photo from the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot set has surfaced, and this one features the first up-close look at the full Spider-Man costume. Click on the photos below, which include two close-up shots displaying the full mask and the mechanical web shooters, to access our growing gallery:

By request, these photos have been removed.

Last week, the first official photo of Andrew Garfield in costume was released, which displayed the web shooters. Later in the week, it was confirmed by actress Emma Stone that the web shooters are mechanical.

The sole reason Sony released an early sneak peak at Andrew Garfield in his full Spider-Man costume was that Marc Webb was set to start shooting in the streets of Los Angeles soon, where anyone could take an unsolicited photo of Spider-Man in action. The new photos we're seeing are a stuntman in Spidey's costume, and it is being speculated that the following images offer a look at the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot's version of Peter Parker's wrestling outfit. New pics have arrived of this particular outfit in action, which you can check out in the images below:

A steady stream of on-set photos from director Marc Webb's upcoming Untitled Spider-Man Reboot have started to flood in. Today, we have our first look at Spider-Man utilizing his mechanical web-slinging devices as he swings onto the top of a moving truck trailer. Check out these new images below, and click on any of the pics to access our growing on-set photo gallery, which includes even more shots from this particular web-swinging scene:

More set photos have arrived from director Marc Webb's upcoming Sony reboot The Amazing Spider-Man. Today, we get a look at New York's Midtown Science High School, where the teenage Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) spends most of his day. And the Queens Public School District bus that he rides to school every morning. Filming is currently taking place at Taft High School in a Los Angeles that has been retrofitted to look like New York City. During the March 5th to March 6th shoot, there will breaking glass, a stunt woman hanging out of a window on a wire, a stuntman on a skateboard who takes to the roof outside the cafeteria, a generator, a scissor lift, and extras inside the high school. You can take a look at the new images below.

The Amazing Spider-Man is currently in production in New York City, and one of its stars recently gave an intriguing hint about the ending. Denis Leary, who portrays police captain George Stacy, the father of Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy, was asked about set photos of Emma Stone at a funeral in December. Those photos lead to speculation that George Stacy dies in the movie. Here's what Denis Leary had to say about the photos at the Tribeca Film Festival over the weekend.

"I'm not allowed to say anything about the ending of Spider-Man - or the ending of Rescue Me. It's verboten! I can't tell you!"

It seems that funeral scene, which appeared to be a police funeral, may take place at the end of The Amazing Spider-Man, and could in fact be the funeral of George Stacy. In the comic books, George Stacy was killed in a battle with Doctor Octopus, although that character has not been confirmed to appear in The Amazing Spider-Man.

Denis Leary also talked about his preparation to portray his first comic book character.

"I just really spent a lot of time with the director and I got some information from Stan Lee and the guys at Marvel. It's the first time I got to play a comic book guy."

Rescue Me, the FX TV series that Denis Leary co-created, is entering its seventh and final season, which will premiere this summer.

The Amazing Spider-Man has wrapped the Los Angeles portion of their shoot, with filming moved to New York City. "No Parking" signs have been spotted for a production called "Fiona's Tale," which is the code name for The Amazing Spider-Man. A tipster spoke with one of the crew members, who revealed they are just setting up rigs, and that "nothing exciting will happen for about 2 more weeks." Take a look at one of these no parking signs and a shot of one possible location below, and read on for details on a New York casting call.

By request, these photos have been removed.

Casting calls for The Amazing Spider-Man indicate that shooting will start on April 30. These notices are calling for a wide variety of characters, including receptionists, scientists, businessmen and teenage graffiti punks. Take a look at the casting calls below.

The Amazing Spider-Man is done filming in Los Angeles, and has recently moved to New York City, actual home of Peter Parker and his superhero alter ego. The first photos of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone on the NYC set have arrived, which offer a peek at Parker in his nerdy eyewear. Check out the images below.

The black get-up is obviously meant to shield The Lizard's makeup from cameras, but one can still make out some scale-age happening around the eyes. But he definitely doesn't look scary in his jogging outfit!

More photos have emerged from the The Amazing Spider-Man set in New York City. This time, a stuntman dressed as the web-slinging superhero was seen filming some stunt scenes in Harlem.

By request, these photos have been removed.

Yesterday we got out first look at Rhys Ifans as The Lizard, and the day before we saw photos of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker with a skateboard, and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy getting into a police car.

The Amazing Spider-Man is still shooting in New York, and today we have a closer look at the web-slinger flying through the streets of the City. Take a look at the photos below, which features a costumed actor who may or may not be Andrew Garfield, to access our growing set photo gallery.

A lot of New York City set photos have recently come in from director Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, which show Spidey swinging across town and struck in various action poses. It was confirmed today that the Peter Parker seen in those images was actually a stuntman. Today, however, we have actual actor Andrew Garfield in full-costume as he performs a flip for the cameras. You can check out these on-location set photos below. We also have video of the stuntman doing various swings through the city, which you can check out below as well.

More video has come in from the New York City based set of director Marc Webb's upcoming Marvel reboot The Amazing Spider-Man. Rhys Ifans was spotting filming a scene with his Lizard neck application make-up, while Andrew Garfield and Martin Sheen were spotted on the other side of the street interacting as Peter Parker and Uncle Ben. Check out the video in the two clips below.

The Amazing Spider-Man is still swinging through production in New York City, with a release date locked in for July 3, 2012.

Yesterday, you saw pictures, today we get video from the most pivotal scene in The Amazing Spider-Man: The death of Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen). Which leads directly into Peter Parker's decision to become The Amazing Spider-Man. Here, we see Martin Sheen laying in the street as Andrew Garfield runs to check his pulse. There is crying and audible dialogue. The suave pirate could almost cull all of this material and make his own The Amazing Spider-Man bootleg before the film even enters the editing room. That would certainly be a first. Check out the footage below.

The Amazing Spider-Man is still swinging through production, working towards a July 3, 2012 release date. While we have seen several looks at Andrew Garfield's Spidey costume throughout the production, those shots were normally taken from afar.

Last month, we reported that the superhero blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man will be released on Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack, Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, and DVD November 9. Today, we have every deleted scene from this Blu-ray release, so fans can see what didn't make it past the cutting room floor. As you can see below, there are still plenty of other special features to enjoy, so just think of this video as an appetizer to the Blu-ray's main course in a few weeks.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. When Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Based on the Marvel comic book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, The Amazing Spider-Man was directed by Marc Webb from the screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves, and a story by James Vanderbilt. Stan Lee, Kevin Feige and Michael Grillo served as executive producers, with Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach as producers.

Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad recently reflected on his upcoming second year as sole president of the company in an in-depth Hollywood Reporter interview.

In it, he reveals the big news that The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb may not be back for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, due to the fact that he owes 20th Century Fox a follow-up movie to his smash hit indie (500) Days of Summer.

"We'd really like him back, but there are obstacles. He has an obligation to Fox."

He then admitted that there were some noticeable problems with the superhero reboot.

"The section where Rhys Ifans ' character turns irrevocably into the Lizard. It took several months to figure out, and the filmmakers cut a bunch of scenes. In software parlance, it required a patch."

In more positive news, he confirms that the 21 Jump Street sequel will start shooting before the year is out.

"We plan to start shooting in the fall. There are very few actors who can do romance, action and comedy. We're in business with two of them, Channing Tatum and Will Smith."

Doug Belgrad also promises that a Jumanji reboot, the film about the board game that comes to life starring Robin Williams, is in line for a proper reboot. We sure hope they cast Azealia Banks in some capacity.

"We're going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present."

In Men In Black news, The Columbia Pictures President also confirmed that there will be a 4th installment.

"We're very pleased with the financial performance of Men in Black 3, and we believe it is an ongoing franchise. We're going to do [another one], but we don't have clarity yet on how it should be done."

In a final bit of news, Doug Belgrad revealed that they will wait for Aaron Sorkin to finish writing Steve Jobs before moving forward on a director and cast for this upcoming biopic.

"Aaron Sorkin will adapt it first, and we've been waiting for him to start. He's been very busy with his HBO show, The Newsroom. We feel that there's nobody better for this job than Aaron. It won't be a traditional birth-to-death biopic, and Aaron is looking for an idea that is more akin to how The Social Network unfolded."

Moviegoers across the country decided to spend their 4th of July with The Amazing Spider-Man, to the tune of $23.4 million. This figure is the second best total for the holiday, behind the $29.1 million earned by Transformers exactly five years ago yesterday.

Director Marc Webb's 3D reboot has grossed $59.3 million during its first two days of release. The superhero origin story is currently projected to earn somewhere between $125 million and $140 million during its opening six-day frame. The adventure faces some added competition over the next few days, with Katy Perry: Part of Me opening today and Savages debuting Friday.

The Amazing Spider-Man was directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent, and Steve Kloves. Andrew Garfield stars as Peter Parker and Emma Stone portrays his love interest, Gwen Stacy.

Be sure to check back this weekend to see how the webbed wonder fares at the box office.
